The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday rejected Alabama’s proposal to take over coal ash regulation, saying the state plan does not do enough to protect people and waterways.

The agency said the state's proposal was "significantly less protective" than required by federal regulations, and that it "does not require that groundwater contamination be adequately addressed during the closure of these coal ash units."

"EPA is laser focused on protecting people from exposure to pollution, like coal ash, that can cause cancer risks and other...

Yes, Barack Obama was there.

State dinners are best known as bear hugs for overseas allies, and Thursday’s honoree was Kenya. But the sixth state dinner of President Biden’s term was designed to clutch domestic allies — not the least of them Mr. Obama, whose father was Kenyan — even tighter as the president makes the long slog toward November.

The 500-person event, held on the South Lawn of the White House on a humid May evening, was attended by dozens of influential Kenyans, of course. The list included President William Ruto of Kenya and his...

The Republican National Committee, alarmed by what it sees as a significantly worsening security threat, asked on Thursday that the director of the Secret Service personally intervene and grant a request to move a designated protest zone farther away from convention participants in Milwaukee this summer.

Republicans have demanded for nearly a month that the Secret Service push back the protesters from the convention site. Now, seven weeks before the start of the convention on July 15, a letter from Todd R. Steggerda, a counsel to the R.N.C., has...

New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez's campaign has spent $2 million on defense and legal fees during his corruption case, according to a Federal Election Commission filing.

The "Menendez For Senate" campaign gave the large payment to the Paul Hastings law firm on April 1, and was labeled as "legal services."

The FEC filing shows a total of $2,120,826.43 spent by the Menendez campaign. Additional expenditures include two payments to Haystack ID — one for $24,938.30 on April 25 and another for $39,648.58 on April 18. Haystack ID is a data services company...

Manhattan prosecutors won't be penalized for a last-minute document dump that caused former President Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial to start later than scheduled, a judge ruled Thursday.

Judge Juan Merchan rejected the defense's request that prosecutors be sanctioned for a deluge of nearly 200,000 pages of evidence just weeks before the trial's scheduled start. The documents were from a previous federal investigation into the matter.

Merchan agreed to delay the start of the trial from March 25 to April 15 to allow the former president's...

NEW YORK – Former President Donald Trump has broken political norms by visiting one of the most deep-blue areas in New York City, a town not necessarily known for its kindness to Republicans.

Trump rallied a crowd of what his campaign estimated to be 25,000 supporters at Crotona Park in the Bronx on Thursday, far more than the initial 3,500 it said were expected to attend. Those numbers appeared to also include those lined up outside the event.

"I'm here tonight to declare we are going to turn New York City around, and we are going to turn it...

Former President Donald Trump campaigned Thursday in one of the most Democratic counties in the nation, holding a rally in the Bronx as he tries to woo minority voters days before a Manhattan jury will begin deliberations on whether to convict him of felony charges in his criminal hush money trial.

Trump addressed supporters in Crotona Park, a public green space in a neighborhood that is among the city's most diverse and its most impoverished, a change from the majority-white areas where he holds most of his rallies. While the crowd was not quite as...

Farmworker and civil rights groups suing the state of Florida over a restrictive immigration law that criminalizes the transportation of undocumented persons into the state are praising the actions of a federal judge who temporarily blocked its enforcement.

U.S. District Judge Roy Altman, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump, blocked a section of the law Wednesday pending the outcome of the lawsuit filed last summer by the Farmworker Association of Florida and other immigrant and civil rights groups.

“This is a much-needed win...
